Hi,

I create webmaps using the REST API with the call to:

http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/content/users/<my_user>/addItem

In response I get an ID that identifies a newly created web map.

Quite often i need to update both map definition and associated feature service content, but once I obtain a webmap ID and i send it to other users in my organisation i would like to be able to update content under that webmap ID  rather than regenerate it every time.  Is it possible to enforce specific webmap ID generation? Or update a webmap under certain webmapID?

I perform the whole process of web map publishing using arcpy.

Thanks

You can update the webmap.  It will keep the same ID.
